Another flower I am very fond of is the Four O'Clock. I first encountered them in Ojinaga, Chihuahua. No one could tell me what the name was in English and the name I was given in Spanish wasn't in the dictionary as being a flower. (I can't remember what that word is now.) They open in the afternoon and exude a wonderful perfume all night. It took me several years of comparing photos in seed catalogs and buying the wrong seeds until I finally hit on the correct ones. If you like your flower gardens tidy, don't plant the Four O'Clocks in your neat, organized beds. They tend to want to dominate the ground they live on and seed themselves like crazy. In more temperate climes they winter over. If you have a spot you'd like some good smelly ground cover, these are the flowers for you.
